Is the Ford AOD a good transmission?

The Ford AOD transmission was evident in cars like the Mustangs, Fairmont, and LTDs around 1980 and 1993, and it was quite unique even though not in a really good way. The Ford AOD transmission shifting problem, therefore, gave it its unreliable performance reputation.

How long does an E4OD last?

as for life span, i have seen unmaintained and abused E4OD’s blow at 30k miles, and very well maintained transmissions last over 600,000 miles.

When did Ford stop using the E4OD?

In 1998, the 4R100 replaced the E4OD.

How much power can a E4OD handle?

As long as the 7.3L Power Stroke goes unmodified, the factory E4OD will generally live a while. Although, it can still be killed at the stock 210 hp and 425 lb-ft level with heavy abuse.

Is E4OD same as 4R100?

The 4R100 was introduced as the replacement for the E4OD and was internally stronger for use in the Powerstroke Diesel trucks. While almost identical on the exterior, not all parts are interchangeable between these two units, so care must be exercised to insure compatibility.

What year AOD is best?

’89-’93 are the best years for the AOD, they already have the better internals for anything with horsepower.

How much HP can a AOD handle?

This unusual system can accommodate up to 450 hp or so before pieces start snapping. A sturdier single-shaft arrangement keeps the converter from locking up in Third and Fourth gears, and this alone makes a worked AOD effective into the 600hp range.

How long does it take to rebuild a E4OD transmission?

It took Phil about six hours to handle our E4OD heavy-duty overhaul. Gary says the cost of such a rebuild would typically run between $1,800-$2,800 depending on the performance level of the rebuild, the year, and condition of the original parts.

How much HP can a E4OD handle?

How many gears does a E4OD have?

four
The E4OD was introduced in 1989 and used in both light and heavy duty applications. The E4OD has four forward speeds and electronic shift controls replacing the hydraulic governor control mechanism of the C6.

All E4OD pumps are completely interchangeable. In 1998, Ford intro- duced the 4R100; one of the four pumps made for this unit is inter- changeable with the E4OD pump — as a complete assembly.

Do you need an AOD for an E4OD transmission?

If the shifter has a P-R-N-OD-D-1 pattern, the transmission must be an AOD (applicable to 1980-1993 vehicles). If a 1989-1993 truck has an Overdrive Cancel Switch and a P-R-N-OD-2-1 shifter pattern, then it is equipped with an E4OD transmission.

What’s the difference between a C4 and an AOD?

When you are swapping an AOD, it is important to recognize the differences between a C4 or early manual transmission and the AOD. The AOD takes a 164-tooth AOD-specific flexplate instead of the smaller 157-tooth pieces common to the C4 and early Ford manual transmissions. Because the AOD is longer,…

What kind of electronic control does an E4OD use?

Baumann Electronic Controls supports the E4OD with the US Shift electronic transmission control system (which provides complete control of all transmission shift points as well as torque converter clutch operation and part-throttle shift firmness).

What makes an E4OD better than a C-6?

Stronger overdrive clutch cylinder snap ring which will not dislodge. Revised sun gear and rear case bushings (circa 1992 model year) provide longer wear life and better lubrication. New forward clutch friction plates with hardened internal splines cure “chatter” and “no-drive” conditions in E4OD and some later C-6 transmissions.
